The Royal Constabulary had sent Hiram Pitt, or Andre, as a spy from a humble family, and then disavowed him when he was discovered, claiming they had not sent him.
Andrei lost consciousness several times and then woke up.
He now realized that the Domfelt gentleman he had seen during his spying was just an illusion.
After all, wasn't it Victor Domfelt who made even the most ferocious pirates tremble?
He couldn't be an ordinary human being.
>The poor manager is alone.
He laughed when he thought about that.
He knew that laughing would anger Victor even more, but he couldn't stop.
Remember the day Scarlett was interrogated at the Royal Constabulary headquarters.
“We haven't gotten anything out of Lady Scarlett yet.”
Yue Eren, the heir to the throne, had inherited Eren's huge family structure and their sharp temper.
He hit the table with his fist hard.
Hughan Hunter, of the Royal Constabulary, spoke with difficulty: “We are questioning her, but it seems she will not speak easily, Your Highness.”
Yuli pushed Heughan away and looked at Scarlett behind the glass wall of the interrogation room.
Yuli sneered: “She is willing to sacrifice her life for her husband.
Doesn’t that man even have a mistress?”
“We haven't found evidence of that yet.”
“This is illogical.
Is it not in the nature of nobles, if the wife is so hard, to keep a soft mistress?
Victor Domfelt cannot be satisfied with a woman like her.”
Scarlet Crimson was exceedingly beautiful, but Yuli thought that if he had married her, he would certainly have kept a mistress.
However, she was a woman who aroused desire.
Yuli looked at her without hiding his lust.
What he liked most was that she was Victor's ex-wife.
Even if their marriage was political and ended suddenly, taking away his ex-wife would definitely hurt Victor.
When Yuli snatched Nina Hunter from him, Victor didn't have much of a reaction, which upset Yuli.
He wondered if stealing from this cold-faced woman would arouse the same indifference.
Scarlett noticed his lustful gaze, turned her head towards him and without greeting, stared at him.
“She's dope,” Heughan pleaded.
“Torture her then.”
“We intended to”
The Royal Police, subordinate to the Royal Orders, could not use torture.
But they had medicines from Pirate Island, including poisons.
Over a period of days, Heughan alternately used poisons and antidotes to force her to speak.
But Scarlett remained silent, so they called Andrei, who worked for the Domfelt family.
Andrei, who was tied up as a spy, grumbled: “If nothing comes out after all this, doesn't it mean that Victor Domfelt has no weaknesses?”
Heughan replied: “After all this, we have to get something.”
Andrei looked from afar at Scarlett, who was trembling in the corner of the underground cell of the police headquarters.
“It's a lot tougher than I expected,” Heughan said.
“I didn't expect that from her.”
“What was it like usually?”
“She was walking around rejoicing in her love for Victor Domfelt.
Poor thing.”
"Aren't you stupid?
She loves him like this and can't betray?"
"actually"
Andrei wandered off with distaste.
“This is your chance to get promoted to the second division,” Heughan said.
The Royal Police had three grades: the third for beginners, the second after five years even if you were incompetent, and the first for someone who had achieved great success.
For six years in the third class due to his humble family, Andrei, despite his talent, was confined to the Domfelt family.
“This will elevate you to second class immediately,” Heughan said.
Andrei responded with distaste: “If that’s the case… I have no choice.”
He entered the investigation room.
He approached Scarlett, who was in dire straits due to the toxins and the repeated antidote.
She was trembling in a corner.
the curse.
Heughan cursed inwardly as Andre approached, saying, “Ma’am, raise your head.”
She did not respond, continuing to tremble.
Andrei sighed and sat down in front of her: “Mrs.
Domfelt, look at me.”
She raised her head, and when she saw him, her eyes lit up with hope: “Andrey?”
“Yes, I am”
He looked embarrassed by the hope in her eyes.
“You thought your husband sent me?”
“Okay...”
“It's not like that.
I'm a spy.”
“What?”
“I came to tell you that your husband’s life is at stake.”
Her face turned pale.
He looked at her with concern and added, “If you keep silent, I will have to kill him.
Of course, I am not bad.
I will get a promotion to first class.
But I might die in the process.
It is dangerous work.”
“Impossible...”
“Look, I'm wearing a uniform.”
"Please, ma'am, say something.
A little weakness is enough.
If there isn't one, make one up."
“Victor will hate me...”
“Is it better to hate him than to die?”
What is this love?
How could she not speak despite all this exhaustion for fear of hating him?
Andrei did not understand her heart.
When he got up, Scarlett grabbed the hem of his pants: “Victor sent Duchess Marina to a mental institution.”
“Commander?”
“Since then, she has been confined in a convent.”
Andrei was relieved by the trembling of her hand and her voice: “A wise decision.”
When he left the Doomfelts with Scarlett, he didn't think much.
The Royal Constabulary welcomed her surveillance, and were ordered to report if she regained her memory.
A year later, Scarlett did not show any strange signs, so Andrei lived for the watch shop.
Perhaps he was so grown up that he began to doubt whether he was a store employee or a royal policeman.
At some point, the success of the Scarlet Crimson store became the most important thing in his life.
Now, the matter seemed very funny.
Scarlett opened her mouth after seeing him, fearing that he would hurt her husband.
She knew he would hate her, but she chose that over hurting him.
Andrei thought about why she chose him after losing her memory.
The answer was one: perhaps she, subconsciously, wanted to keep him away from Victor Domfelt.
Is there someone who can secretly hurt Victor?
Maybe she loves him because she doesn't know who he really is, or because she doesn't know who he is, she can love him.
Andrei thought about what would happen if he spoke.
Victor will definitely rush to Scarlett, but her reaction cannot be predicted.
But if he reveals Scarlett's suffering, his family will be wiped out.
Even Victor Domfelt fell into this trap because of the Royal Police.
A humble family like his wouldn't last.
But confronting Victor is also impossible.
The choices seemed to lead to destruction.
While he was thinking, Victor entered.
Andrei felt a different prestige than ever before.
Victor saw his deep breathing and said calmly: “We'd better end this quickly.”
“Are you going to kill me now?”
“On the contrary”
Victor continued: “If you tell the truth, I will let you live and protect you from the Royal Police.”
“No, if you hear the truth, you will kill me immediately, and that is legal.”
“If you target my life, I will overlook it.”
“What?”
Andrei's expression looked stunned, even thinking about his family's demise.
He opened his mouth: “Do you want to know the truth so much?”
“Yes”
“And you won't touch my family?”
“Isn’t this part of my promise to protect you?”
Victor was, in this aspect, almost a nobleman.
Andrei didn't think long.
Between two disastrous options, a perfect one suddenly appeared, so there was no reason not to choose it.
“The director’s loss of her memories during the investigation was due to medication given by the Royal Police.”
“A medication that makes past memories clear, but as a side effect, erases part of the memory.
This happened to the director.”
Victor listened with calm, even indifferent expression.
Andrei didn't expect Victor to collapse in remorse, but he didn't expect this coldness either.
He continued: “Of course, they tortured her too.
The medicines were from Pirate Island.
To make it look like the director was trading for Count Crimson’s eyes, they linked her to a source of eye medicines.”
“She was stubborn.
She kept her mouth shut the whole time until I showed up and changed her mind.
I said I could kill the leader at any time.
Surprisingly, she believed it.
How could that be possible?”
Victor remained silent.
“That's it,” Andrei continued.
“It seems trivial when you sum it up.”
A long silence followed.
